School's out for Summer

This very long and very exhausting school year is finally over.  Yesterday and today, the temps are in the upper 90's, so it was a good thing that "only" regents (final exams) were being given at the high school.  Administration tried to make sure that all testing was done in the few air conditioned rooms, but it was still stifling walking out into the halls.  Another year bites the dust.

And so, we've had 2 weigh ins since Disney.  I'm down 2.2 lbs over those two weeks.  Slowly creeping towards my next goal of being under 200#.  WW issued an activity challenge this summer -- to try to get all the "recommended" activity points for 6 weeks.  Last week, we earned all 14.  This week, I'm up to 12, not sure what hubby has earned.  But my knees don't like this extremely hot and muggy weather, so we'll see what we do for the next two days.  Since walking outside wouldn't be recommended today, we're either going to have to mall walk or go to the gym.  That remains to be seen.  I also don't want to cook (although, I am getting a new range, but not until next week).  So, hopefully, I will get inspired to start cooking, at least dinners, again.

My birthday is in 11 days.  I had wanted to lose another 5 pounds after coming home from Disney.  That may or may not happen, but now, my next mini-goal is to lose 10 additional pounds by Labor Day.  Since, I was down last week, I'm 8.8 lb away from that goal.  This goal is not the same as the under 200, that's not on a time schedule.  The 10 pounds by Labor Day was a goal set in the meeting room, to motivate me through the summer "hazards".  And you know what?  It's so much easier to navigate the minefield of eating out and the summer "foods" with hubby along for the ride.  BTW he is looking very svelte and sexy!

Today, I have to brave the heat and take #2 daughter to the community college and get her books for the summer classes she's taking and another ID, since she lost it at her normal school.  After she eats breakfast, we'll be on our way, before it gets too hot.

Happy Summer!
